How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before working on the door lock assembly.
- Listen for motor: When starting or ending self-clean, listen for the lock motor. No sound suggests a failed motor or no power.
- Inspect lock assembly: Access the lock mechanism from the top or rear of the oven. Check for broken linkages or jammed components.
- Test switches: Use a multimeter to test the lock position switches for proper open/closed operation as the lock moves.
Replace the door lock motor assembly if the motor or switches are defective. Ensure wiring harness is intact and properly connected.
